Success Advice
The Most Important Word That Every Entrepreneur Should Live By
HUSTLE!
Ever heard the expression, “go knock on a few doors” if you want to get something accomplished?
When you have passion around something, you’ll do whatever it takes to execute on it. You’ll work and grind away until you’ve squeezed every last bit of juice out of that ‘lemon.’ When you’re truly in that hustle, you are maximizing every last bit of energy you have in order to produce.
Sure, people say they’re “hustling” all the time, but are they really?
I’m blown away by people who say their “hustling to achieve these great things,” when in actuality their actions don’t match. It’s like wanting to lose weight and sneaking away to scarf down a Big Mac. It’ just not going to work.
Hustling is putting every minute and all your effort into achieving the goal at hand. Every minute needs to count. There is so much hustle in my day I don’t even have a second to spare to “hang out” and catch up with the people around me. It may not be ideal for most, but it’s what I’ve signed up for, it’s what I love, and it’s what allows me to get the things done that I seek to accomplish.
Many of you often ask for ways to increase engagement around your content.
Short answer: Hustle.
Long answer: Make sure you’re putting out quality product. Once you know that you’re hitting the right notes with the content you’re putting out, you need to put your efforts into business development. You need to knock on the right doors, understand where you’re trying to take your efforts, and hustle until there’s not a single ounce of juice left.
And so, when an opportunity presents itself, pounce on it. HUSTLE.
Be mindful of the environments and conversations you want to get involved in and be sure that you’re offering them value in exchange for what you want from them, which is likely exposure.
Remember that although you may be hustling to push your business to the top, you need to be respectful of those helping you along the way, and there’s no better way to show respect and appreciation, than in providing value.
Watch This!
So the question remains — are you willing to hustle to make it happen?
Are you willing to work 15+ hours a day to get it done?
Can you biz dev?
Can you do what it takes to take your business to the top while also providing value?
In today’s world, there’s so much room and opportunity to bring value to somebody, but it’s never going to happen if all you care about is yourself. Stop being romantic. Put out great work and hustle. Wake up before everybody else and work those long hours. Emotionally and executionally, make the commitment to yourself and to your legacy that you’re willing and ready to go ALL-IN.
“Hustle is waking up the day before you die and realising you gave it your all.” – Gary Vaynerchuk
Did you know, if you put $5 into a savings account every single morning when you woke up for the next ten years, you would have a savings account at the end totalling $18,250? When it comes to being rich, we all love the idea of having millions in the bank, but what most people don’t realise is that it’s not earning a ton of money that makes people rich, it’s the mindset and habits that go with their lifestyle.

You have probably heard quotes like “ No Pain, No Gain” or “The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings.” Do you ever pause for a moment and ask yourself if that is true? Where did those beliefs come from? Why is it that early in our lives we are trained to believe that the only pathway to success is through failure first? (more…)
Do you know what your core values are? There’s what you say and there’s what you do. You can be clear with your core values by watching your actions. Do they match what you say your values are? If no, why not? (more…)
Everyone can publish a post on Facebook, go live on Instagram, or record a Youtube video. While social media is making out to be a serious business for experts and influencers around the globe, there is nothing that says “I am the expert” as much as a feature in a top magazine. (more…)

Hard to listen past “facebook was invented in Boston”
Facebook was created at HARVARD. A school only the world’s uppermost elite can attend…
guess it’s a sign I shouldn’t for procrastinating on this site instead of hustling

Wow…this is huge Gary. Huge. I agreed with what you’ve pointed out here. You can’t sleep or have fun all day and expect to compete with those who don’t.
Thanks once again.

Well said. Gary V.
Hustle is what makes the extra difference. I believe if you put in the work and you should be constantly progressing. few people do as they say and if you shift your mindset into going that extra mile I believe you can achieve whatever goals you set .

Awesome article from Gary Vee as usual. Concise, insightful. I love some hustle, but totally agree that one needs to temper one’s enthusiasm, so as not to offend, or come across as a pushy schmuck. Pis*ing people off is a surefire way not to be a hustler for too long.
Value is everything, people don’t pay for products or services, they pay for the value they perceive those products and services offer. IF you don’t offer value, and always strive to over deliver, things are gonna get ugly pretty quickly.
Don’t focus on the money, focus on the value, the engagement, the connections, the human experience of sharing. Do that enough, and the financial rewards will come in abundance.
Great article Gary and A2S
